Current events
This page is for discussion of stuff related to the game coming up this week, no matter when that actually is. For instance, we can all assume Nate isnt coming for some lame reason and that Ed is sick of pizza and is bringing teriyaki or some other crap. They can post something here if that happens to be untrue.

--Edmiao 15:47, 16 August 2008 (MST) might be there. 50% chance.
--Dieter the Bold 09:57, 17 August 2008 (MST) Planning to be there unless my dad has really cool birthday plans. Definitely pizza.
Ranting and raving or other random comments
--Edmiao 15:45, 16 August 2008 (MST) Cheryl's surgery went fine, she's back home as of today and doing well, thanks for all the well wishes. hope to be at games on friday, but maybe not, depends on how sick cheryl is of my company and doting
--Gdaze 20:02, 16 August 2008 (MST) Good to hear! Glad it all went well!
--Dieter the Bold 09:58, 17 August 2008 (MST) Indeed. Gratz to you and her.
Other RPG or Non-RPG gaming Events
shindig on aug 30/31
JASON: Also, I will be having a massive shindig for mine and Rumi's birthdays on either August 30th or 31st. I would like to see as many of you jokers as possible attend. Mark it on your calendar. I am planning on renting a venue so we have plenty of space for games, Rock Band, and partying. Does anyone know of a centrally located, reasonably priced, venue?
GABE: I'd like to come, I'm trying to be more social. A central and big location for partying thats cheap? *insert your mom comment*
KIM: Oooh, I'll be back in town then, might have a job that weekend, but will try to keep it during reasonable hours so that I can show up and commandeer the potato chip bowl... *nom nom nom*
--Dieter the Bold 16:37, 21 July 2008 (MST) Will be moving into a new place, but should be able to spare a day. Consider me attending. The only venue I could think of that's sorta' central and maybe reasonably priced is an educational building. Gym of a high school, community college, Seattle U., etc.
Other Games
--Dieter the Bold 16:48, 17 August 2008 (MST) I now have a City of Villains character with Gabe and Noelle on the Virtue server. If Matt#2 wants to go low level with us, the more the merrier. Character name: Jorus Bonesplitter, Brute
Weekly Magic Whining/Complaining/Smack Talking
--Edmiao 14:04, 10 August 2008 (MST) oh god. The Awful Truth
--Edmiao 14:16, 10 August 2008 (MST) Trying to make a deck using this card
--Gdaze 16:48, 10 August 2008 (MST) Dang, I don't know how I'd counter that goblin...
ED: Magic workstation count of creatures with protection from color. I was looking for protection from blue and thought it was underrepresented, turns out protection from green is the most rare.... # creatures with protection from: 9 green, 12 blue, 24 white, 32 red, 41 black. and two of the protection from green don't really count (masked gorgon and grotesque hybrid)
--Gdaze 23:41, 11 August 2008 (MST) So I was looking at my duel lands, and besides having one of each type from 3rd edition, I also have one extra Tropical Island (G/B), Savannah (W/G), and Underground Sea (B/Bl). I think I might sell them, I'm not sure how much shops buy for though. The first two are in really good condition, but not the last one.
JASON: I think they give about $15 each for them. I will do better than that in trade, though. What kind of stuff are you looking for?
--Edmiao 13:46, 12 August 2008 (MST) gabe, what was that set you just bought a box of?
--Gdaze 14:14, 12 August 2008 (MST) Hmm, I'm really looking more for monies. It was Guildpact, and to a lesser degree Dissention. Why? You gonna mock me cuz you found a lower price? Ass? Kekekeke.
So you wanna play sometime this week Ed?
JASON: I will give you $15 apiece for them then, how is that?
--Gdaze -- Hmmmmm let me think it over!
--Edmiao 08:36, 13 August 2008 (MST) i liked that set and in a fit of weakness i bought 3 boosters! Damn myself to hell! i did find 4 real cards for the blue creature that unsummons your creatures, and 4 of the artifact golumn casting cost 6 that has: sacrifice for WRGUB mana. not sure what to do with him, but it's certainly my style of card. Cheryl's got her surgery tomorrow, so no magic time for me.
--Matts 08:45, 13 August 2008 (MST)Give her my best, and good luck!
--Dieter the Bold 11:22, 13 August 2008 (MST) Indeed. Best wishes to you both!!
--Gdaze 12:01, 13 August 2008 (MST) Most important things first: Yes, please give her all our best, we are all hoping for a quick and safe surgery! I'm praying for both of you.
Also, yes, that block is really fun actually.
--Edmiao 15:00, 13 August 2008 (MST) thanks guys. yeah, i like that block, i like abilities like replicate and such, they seem less unbalanced than wither and are quite fun to play with. i'm thinking about a blue/red deck themed similar to your dragon draw deck but without the dragon.
--Matts 15:45, 13 August 2008 (MST)Dammit I'm planning on a blue-red nucklavee deck! What the hell??
--Edmiao 16:21, 13 August 2008 (MST) that's an awesome card. do we have it? that plus Izzet and Anarchist (we have one of each, i think). pair that with the four Vedalken Masterminds i just got.... and with the one Eye of the Storm we have. that was my thought. we could make this deck together...
--Matts 17:37, 13 August 2008 (MST)I think we have two or three nucklavees. Eye of the storm is an incredible match there. We should throw in our Jaws of Stones too.
--Brandon 00:41, 14 August 2008 (MST) I'm (also) sending good thoughts towards Cheryl and Ed.
--Matts 13:07, 14 August 2008 (MST)Magic the Gathering Nucklavee Deck
--Gdaze -- So I think for next time we should all try and make a theme deck. Not like elves, or goblins, or whatever. But like "Communism" or "Zoo" or even "The State Fair", and we put in only cards we think have something to do with it. For example, zoo wouldn't have any counters, but Communism mind have Mind Boogle. I dunno, just a way for us to use less used cards but in a themed deck, kinda like Matt's "Da Bears" deck or "I'm the Juggernaut" deck. If you like it post your idea here and maybe next Friday we can try a hand.
--Matts 16:49, 15 August 2008 (MST)dammit, the bears deck and the juggernaut were the same thing!!!!
--Gdaze 20:03, 16 August 2008 (MST) Well right, they were both crap, I know that. OH ZING! But yeah, we should do that... post your theme though. Also Brandon had to use my decks and my Black/White one turned out pretty annoying to fight against... Really annoying...
--Dieter the Bold 09:59, 17 August 2008 (MST) Sorry about you guys not getting the decks. My next door neighbor turned out to be gone all day.
--Edmiao 22:51, 17 August 2008 (MST) so i have a lot of time on my hands this week, and am deconstructing all my decks and making new. maybe i'll leave one deck together. anyway, i shoot for maybe up to 5 decks at a time. i think none of you are close to this and don't want to pressure you at all about numbers of decks built. That said, we have a lot of decks that don't see much play. so, will the makers please state their preference for the following decks, keep or refile (for no response, i will keep the deck together), and please don't hesitate to keep any deck together if you wish:
Matt's Wizard Diviner Wand:
Matt's Tap and Untap deck:
Ben's WU Enchanted Evening:
Brandon's RW Giant Warrior Deck (--Brandon 23:12, 17 August 2008 (MST) Keep Please, I want to rework this one more time):
A box of eventide and shadowmoor cards of all five colors and no apparent theme (in a "shadowmoor" box):
UB Merfolk Wizard deck containing the Jace blue Planeswalker and Mesmeric orb:
WB Rebel deck:
RB Bloodfire Colossus Deck:
Ben's BRU unblockable deck:
B deck with Lord of the Pit and Devouring Strossus and Teeka's Dragon:
BU mostly Fairies deck: (--23:12, 17 August 2008 (MST) I'm assuming this is my "fairie" deck with Oona, and definitely want it kept)
Collection of BW cards themed on protection from white includes Western Paladin and Pentarch Paladin:
W Kithkin deck with only 45 cards:
R Goblin Deck with Clickslither (--Brandon 23:12, 17 August 2008 (MST) This is mine, and you can get refile it):
Ben's GW Elf Deck:
Collection of RW Shadowmoor, Morningtide, Eventide cards that has a lot of giants (--Brandon 23:12, 17 August 2008 (MST) This is probably my pile of cards for reworking the Giant deck. You can refile them):
Matt's GUB Sky Swallower and Bronze Bomshell deck:
G Elf and Warrior deck:
GU Changeling/Shapeshifter deck:
A clear plastic box with a collection of shadowmoor, eventide, and 3 old animate deads; includes cards of all colors, and no rares, a shadowmoor rules insert and a bunch of crisp lands of all colors:
Matt's pile of cards of all colors includes BW theme area, Nucklavee themed area, Beast Fairy area, and random shit area:
UB collection of Fairy Rogue cards (no rares included) (--Brandon 23:12, 17 August 2008 (MST) I think I picked these out, and they can be refiled):
And ben, i was going to organize your new cards and keep them separate as best i can, but they are already becoming mixed, i figure we can sort them out at such time that our magic days end (hopefully never).
Does anyone else have cards at ben's house that need to be kept separated from the collection?
Next step in Super Heroes
What's the role of super hero? Is it to protect the innocent? Punish the guilty? Keep a captured villain in a closet and occasionally throw him some Sun Chips?
The Guardians are thinking long and hard about this moral conundrum...
GABE: That was super heroes at their bestest. How about what the heck do we do with all these people we keep beating up??? No place can hold them! I mean Viho only has so many closets.
